Control panels:  did you mount your controls angled downward, or did you keep it horizontal?


I designed the side panels for mine over the weekend, and as of right now, the panels cater to a control panel that is not angled.

Franco B:
Mine are going have a 10 degree slope if thats any help.

gnateye:
i think 10 degrees is kinda the standard, you may notice some wrist strain if you keep it horizontal....

bigh4th:
I actualy guessed at mine and went with a 15 degree angle.  pretty close.

But I would keep it at an angle.  In most cases, a persons arm is already at an angle to reach the controls, so keeping the wrist in line with the arms would make more sense than requiring them to move their wrist to another angle.

I've also learned this from being a drummer.  If you set your drums up where your wrists don't have to stray too far from your arms natural angle, there is a lot less discomfort in playing, be it from muscle soreness or from the shock of stick impact.

just my $.02

ArtsNFartsNCrafts:
Hmm...well maybe I'll redesign 'em tonight!  Couldn't be that hard.  So am I angling ONLY the top part of the panel, or should I go ahead and just shift the rest of it around too?



Not to de-rail my own thread, but as a fellow drummer, I hear you on the wrist thing.  I just LOVE it when little punk drummers keep their toms flat because it "looks cool".

And I guess since we're all a pack 'a nerds in this place, there's no shame in me posting a pic of my drumkit.....it still fits w/ the theme of videogames.
